My invention'relates to an attachment forich the records are of he disk class, and it is intended to protect injury after the finish of the the disks from I It consists of the partsand the construe--- tlons and combinations of parts which I will Figure l is a partial plan view of a phonograph showingthe attachment of my device. Fig.2 is a plan view of same. Fig. 3' is a sec-j tion on line XX of Fig. 2.

The arm and sli e revolve in unison with the disk during the performance. This front edge has a which is to catch and hold the pin which is following the record, after the piece has been I completed.

' lows: The elastic sleeve is placed over the post, and the slide 5- is moved inwardly or outwardly upon the arm A until the point 6. is just at the termination of the last circle of the record; The pin in the end of the arm to 'Which it is attached, being let down upon the record at the outer edge as iscustomary, will follow therecord until the piece is finished,
